Baby shoes

I had wanted to make them for such a long time, but I couldn't find any pattern that suited my tastes, so finally I managed to create one myself. And here you are!

  

 

I tried to write down the steps I followed, but I don't know if they are clear enough... Anyway, if you feel like trying, ask me and I will post the pattern for you.

What a nice surprise!!!!

Crochet baby hat

I have been trying to do this crochet baby hat for a long time... I had many problems with sizes, stitches, shapes... But I kept trying and finally got to this!!!!!!!

 Here's my pattern: (I think it's very easy to follow, though I spent so many days to create it!!!)

• chain 3 and join to form a ring
• chain 2, 6 half double crochets (htr/hdc) in ring, place marker
• 2 htr in each stitch until you get to the marker (you should have 12 stitches now), place marker
• 1 htc in the first stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc in the next, 2 htc in the next... all around, place marker
• 1 htc in the first stitch, 1, htc in the next stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc, 1htc, 2 htc... all around, place marker
• 1 htc, 1htc, 1htc, 2htc... all around, place marker
• go on like this until you reach the size you want
• when you get to the size you need (it can even be an adult size) you crochet 1htc in each stitch all around
• you have to do as many rounds like this as you need, depending on the length of the hat (in my baby hat I made about 4 or 5). During the last 2 or three rounds, you should do the following to adjust the size of the base: once you get to the marker, htc 2 sts tog and then, at the half of the round, do it again. Repeat in the last 2 or three rounds.
• To finish; dc, sl st, sl st and hide the bow

 Happy hooking!!!!!!!

Wow!!!!! And it finally arrived!!!!

Last week I bought some yarns from Deramores. New colors, new fibres... I was so excited about them and yesterday they arrived!!!!!!

Cotton:

 Merino (I love these):

 Cotton (special for baby crafts):

And more cotton!!!!

One cushion, two sides

And the fourth!!!!

And finally...

I made a fourth neck warmer!!!! 

This time for men:

The pattern is the same as in the raspberry neck warmer, only higher and longer. 

Remember: 

• Chain 40 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, work one dc stitch into each chain. Chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: one dc into each chain. Chain one and turn.

You should crochet as many rows as you need, depending on the size you need. Try it on before deciding to stop!

This time, instead of buttons, I crocheted the two ends to join them. It's even easier than the button-pattern!!!

This was a loooooong weekend!

And this was a long weekend (4 days!!!!!). So I had a lot of time for my crafts, and was very creative. I made some more neck warmers, this time with another yarn and a different design: pattern, size...

Here's the pattern (both are the same, in different colors):

• Chain 22 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, *work one dc stitch, then one tr in the next chain* . Repeat * * until the end of row. If you finish with a dc, chain 2 and turn but if you finish with a tr chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: where there was a dc, work a tr stitch, then a dc in the next stitch (where there was a tr in the previous row). Repeat until the end of row: one dc, one tr. Chain 1 or 2 and turn.

 You get a very nice pattern by combining these two types of stitches in the same row:

You should crochet as many rows as you like, I made these quite long to form a V neck. Try it on before deciding to stop!

For the buttons, you don't need to make any button holes if you don't choose very big buttons. This way, you can fasten them wherever you want. ;) 

You just have to choose some nice buttons with nice colors that combine with the yarn! 

raspberry neck warmer

A new neck warmer... it's almost a year since I made the last! This one is quite different, in a bright pinky purple...

This is the pattern tutorial:

• Chain 22 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, work one dc stitch into each chain. Chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: one dc into each chain. Chain one and turn.

You should crochet as many rows as you need, depending on your neck. Try it on before deciding to stop!

For the buttons, I made three chains (their length will change depending on the size of the buttons).
